It’s funny to think about it now but when Hughie turned pro at 18, there was talk that he could go on to break Mikes Tyson record as the youngest heavyweight champion. Obviously that never came close to happening and a failed WBO title challenge against Joseph Parker four years ago was about as good as it got for Hughie.
The excitement of this AWESOME fight would make Hagler vs hearns look like a four hour long lecture on health insurance .
